Absolutely! The canine vehicles are equipped with the most up-to-date canine safety devices on the market. Heat sensors in the car will activate the car’s horn, roll down the back windows and turn on a fan in the car if the dog’s area gets too warm. Remote control door opening ensures the dog can get out of the car to assist the handler at the touch of a button or in any other emergency situation.

A number of things contribute to the dog's keen sense of smell. Their long snouts have a large turbinate bone structure that holds millions of scent receptor cells, plus the olfactory lobe of their brain is much larger than that of a human being.

Like any service dog, you must ask the handler if you can touch the K-9. Police dogs are trained to protect themselves and their handlers. It's important that the handler introduce you to his or her dog properly.
